Hi Bob

Why not?
When I was in the middle of my B.Sc. studies I already knew to which masters programs I will apply and which mentors I wanted to instruct me. I also knew I want to do a PhD (which was delayed a bit due to some reasons). In the masters studies I knew which universities and programs I will apply to for PhD. It's not that strange to start thinking ahead of the next step. It's not like I am commiting myself to one thing and that is it. I am thinking about where I want to go and what do I want to achieve and I set the current ground in order to get that. In biological sciences (at least where I am from) it is quite common to think ahead this way.

We sure as hell do!! No really, I'm currently entering my senior year of engineering school, but I'm currently working for a wireless internet company, which is where I hope to work after I graduate as well.  Within the next couple of years, wireless internet will be available anywhere, the same way you get cell phone service. pretty freakin' cool.

Good friend of mine graduated with a BSEE from VT in 2000.  I tried to send you a PM once when you posted a story about a crappy professor who gave you like a C when you scored high on a final...my buddy had the same professor in the same class (Discrete Signals/Systems was it?) and the same sh*t happened to him.

I'm an engeneer, but nowadays I'm working as Linux developer... windows sucks!! hehe

I'm a college student. When I grow up to be a big man I want to be a spatial planner, since that's what I'm studying to.

I have in all seriousness no idea what a spatial planner does - maybe you could enlighten me?   And, much less seriously, William Spooner - the guy who for some bizarre reason frequently exchanged the openings of his words: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Archibald_Spooner   would have transformed the phrase to "a palatial spanner"....

We design outdoor environments, cities among other things, urban planner may be a better name.

Just give me a call if you think your city need to be remodeled.

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich or poormans wives.

work part time at a market
but going to commmunity college get all the required courses
then on to film school at a university

I'm a lazy student, studying criminology.

OK, now a serious reaction by me: I work as a psychiatric nurse since 1986, at this moment I guide mostly schizophrenic people but also people with personality disorders (mainly borderline) and addictions (no hard drugs but often soft drugs and alcohol). We try to stabilise and then search for a new balance. My work varies from therapeutical/supporting conversations to play football or organise a DVD music evening, for example Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Marillion of Taling Heads. It's almost moving to see how relaxing music (especially the more melodic rock and prog) is for mentally ill people, that's why they often react positive to my DVD progrock evenings  ! It's a tough job but every day is different, you can put a lot of yourself into this work and you learn a lot about yourself (know I can handle much better my dark turns ..).

Thanks Imoeng but don't forget your fellow Indonesian Gatot, he does a lot of voluntary work to help poor and sick people in your country, there is so much need for that in Indonesia!
